Su Xin's words made a lot of sense. Even the hot-tempered Sage Chi Ming didn't raise any objections.
However, how could it be so simple to become the state religion of the Zhou Kingdom?
Ignoring everything else, the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom was clearly using them. The Paragon Master of Great Strength could see this very clearly. It should be said that they were using each other to begin with.
However, without relying on the Zhou Kingdom, Esoteric Buddhism had no way of spreading its teachings in the north. Thus, even though they knew that they were being used by Ji Haodian, they could only accept it.
The Paragon Master of Great Strength looked at Su Xin and asked, "Just now, you said that Buddhism can only gain a foothold in the Central Plains if we can settle two things. Then what do you mean by the Shaolin Temple?"
Su Xin spread his hands and said, "I don't need to say this. Sage, you should understand that in the struggle between Buddhism and the Shaolin Temple, Buddhism lost in the end.
Now, whenever Buddhism is mentioned, everyone thinks of the Shaolin Temple and not Buddhism. Thus, if you want to spread your teachings to the Central Plains, the Shaolin Temple is a threshold that cannot be bypassed. "
The Paragon Master of Great Strength's expression was somewhat gloomy as he said, "We naturally know this, but to be honest, the Shaolin Temple is much stronger than our Buddhism.
More importantly, the Shaolin Temple is located in the Henan Province. If we dare to spread our teachings to other places, I'm afraid that the first thing we'll face will be the suppression of the Shaolin Temple. "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Sage, you've misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to fight to the death with the Shaolin Temple.
Actually, all you need right now is a victory against the Shaolin Temple. This victory is for you to see, as well as for the people of the Jianghu and the imperial court to see. "
The Grand Master looked at Su Xin in confusion. "One victory?"
Su Xin nodded and said, "It is a victory. Guru, with all due respect, there is a big problem with the state of the Buddhism warriors. Even you feel that you can't win against the Shaolin Temple. How do you want others to see you?
At the beginning of ancient times, be it the Daoist sects or the Buddhist sects, they did not rely on their mouths to spread the Dao, but on their fists.
"Now, Shaolin Temple is the representative of the entire Buddhism Sect in the Central Plains. You suddenly went north, and few people from Esoteric Buddhism came to the martial arts world in the Central Plains to make a living. As a result, the martial arts world in the Central Plains does not know your strength at all and does not know whether you are qualified to fight with Shaolin Temple head-on.
For a martial artist, the power behind them was their backer. This was especially true for those talented martial artists.
If the Esoteric Sect of the Western Frontier is still like this, then I guess that not only will there not be any famous martial artists joining you, but even those young martial artists with better talent will not join your Esoteric Sect.
"Most importantly, if you can't show a victory against the Shaolin Temple, it will be impossible for you to become the national religion of the Zhou Kingdom.
"Don't be fooled by the current system of the Zhou Kingdom. In fact, if you want to become a member of the Zhou Kingdom, there is only one requirement, and that is strength.
The imperial court has never raised trash. If you don't have strength, let alone the national religion, even if you take the initiative to seek refuge with the Zhou Kingdom, the Zhou Kingdom will not accept you. "
After Su Xin finished speaking, the Grand Master of Great Strength and Guru Chi Ming fell silent.
If Su Xin was spouting nonsense, they naturally wouldn't care, but the problem was that what Su Xin said was very reasonable.
Their Esoteric Buddhism was currently in a very awkward position.
The resources of the Western Frontier were insufficient. If they were trapped in the Western Frontier, their Buddhism would become weaker and weaker. When they became extremely weak, so weak that the Shaolin Temple could crush them, the Shaolin Temple would definitely take action, destroy Buddhism, and seize its various treasured scriptures.
Although the strength of Esoteric Buddhism was much weaker than that of the Shaolin Temple, it didn't mean that the legacy of Buddhism was weaker than that of the Shaolin Temple.
Buddhism's body-refining techniques, mudras, and mantras were no weaker than those of the Shaolin Temple, and Buddhism's inheritance of enlightenment was something that the Shaolin Temple coveted.
With the inheritance of enlightenment, Shaolin Temple would undoubtedly save a lot of time when raising its disciples, and this would definitely be a great boost to the strength of the Shaolin Temple.
The struggle for orthodoxies had always been cruel. No matter how merciful the Shaolin Temple spoke, even if they were merciful to the demonic path, they wouldn't be merciful to Buddhism, which was also a Buddhist sect.
Therefore, Esoteric Buddhism had to change. The higher-ups of Buddhism had already discussed it, and they couldn't just sit still and wait for death. They had to preach in the north. Even if they had to pay a price, they had to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
The Great Master of Great Strength looked at Su Xin and said, "Lord Su, if you can really help Buddhism gain a foothold in the Central Plains, then from now on, you will be a friend of Buddhism. You will receive the full support of Buddhism!"
Su Xin did have some friction with the Tantric Sect, but compared to the fact that the Tantric Sect was able to preach in the north, this little friction was nothing.
Su Xin smiled and said, "I already said that I came here to make a deal with Esoteric Buddhism. Moreover, you should also know about the enmity between me and the Shaolin Temple. Even without Buddhism, I, Su Xin, and the Shaolin Temple would still be irreconcilable.
Therefore, I came to you to get what we need. I can attack the Shaolin Temple, and your Buddhism can also gain a foothold in the Central Plains. "
Su Xin said all the dirty things between him and the Shaolin Temple, which made the Supreme Sage and Sage Chi Ming feel relieved.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend. After Su Xin said these words, even Sage Chi Ming, who had always been cold to Su Xin, looked at Su Xin in a more favorable light.
The Great Master of Great Strength said, "Lord Su, we agree to your deal. First, tell us, what does Buddhism need to do, and what do you want in return?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "Your Buddhism is only responsible for attacking the Shaolin Temple. That will be enough. I will arrange the rest. As for what I want, it is very simple. I want the Invincible Vajra Divine Art of the Shaolin Temple and the Invincible Golden Body left behind by the True Martial Realm expert of the Shaolin Temple!"
Both the Great Master of Great Strength and Sage Chi Ming sucked in a breath of cold air. This Su Xin's appetite was really big.
The Invincible Vajra Divine Art had a very special position in the Shaolin Temple. On the surface, it looked like an ordinary cultivation technique with slow progress and no powerful special abilities.
However, after mastering the Invincible Vajra Divine Art, its defensive power became even more astonishing.
Most importantly, the ultimate state of the Invincible Vajra Divine Art was the Invincible Golden Body. It could be said to be the pinnacle of the world's body-refining cultivation techniques.
In the battle between Su Xin and Xuan Guan, Xuan Guan had burned his body and Primordial Spirit to reach the pseudo Invincible Golden Body realm. However, it was only close to the Invincible Golden Body realm. It looked like the Invincible Golden Body, but not in spirit.
However, it was only close to the Invincible Golden Body, yet it had such power. One could well imagine how strong the real Invincible Golden Body was.
Most importantly, the Invincible Vajra Divine Art was a secret of the Shaolin Temple. In particular, Su Xin actually wanted the Invincible Golden Body left behind by the True Martial Realm expert.
The longer a sect's inheritance, the more experience it had.
Because the longer the inheritance, it meant that the sect had more experts.
Although these experts might have died, the cultivation notes they left behind could be called treasures. Moreover, they were the kind of existence that could not be replicated.
The cultivation notes of the True Martial Realm experts were very precious. Moreover, it was the cultivation notes about the Invincible Golden Body. This kind of existence was priceless even in the Shaolin Temple. Now, Su Xin actually wanted this kind of thing. Did he want to attack the Scripture Pavilion?
In fact, Su Xin coveted the Invincible Vajra Divine Art of the Shaolin Temple for a long time. He had this idea since the battle with Jue Yan in the Kunlun Secret Territory.
Back then, Su Xin and Jue Yan were both in the Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, Su Xin had mastered the Innate Invisible Sword Qi with extremely powerful attack power. Even so, he was unable to break Jue Yan's Invincible Vajra Divine Art. That battle left a deep impression on Su Xin.
Later, Xuan Guan's Invincible Golden Body amazed Su Xin. From then on, Su Xin thought about how to get this divine art.
Su Xin also had a body-refining technique. However, even if he cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to its peak, it would only greatly increase his physical strength. In terms of physical strength, it was far inferior to the Invincible Vajra Divine Art.
Great Strength Guru said in a deep voice, "Lord Su, do you know what the Invincible Vajra Divine Art and Invincible Golden Body mean in the Shaolin Temple? This is the core inheritance of the Shaolin Temple. Unless you destroy the entire Shaolin Temple and attack the Sutra Depository, you will never be able to get it. "
Su Xin said indifferently, "Don't worry, the Shaolin Temple will take the initiative to hand over the cultivation technique and the record."
Chi Ming couldn't help but sneer, "Why are you so sure?"
Su Xin took out the Heavenly Ksitigarbha Sarira from his mustard seed bag. Suddenly, a Buddhist light shone, illuminating the entire room.
Great Strength Guru and Chi Ming suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "It's the Buddha Bone Sarira left behind by a True Martial Realm monk!"
Su Xin was slightly surprised. This Heavenly Ksitigarbha Sarira was actually left behind by a True Martial Realm expert. He originally thought it was a Yang Spirit Realm expert.
Great Strength Guru was no longer as calm as before. He asked Su Xin with some excitement, "Which High Monk left this Buddha Bone Sarira behind?"
Whether it was the Shaolin Temple, Buddhism, or the Lotus Zen Monastery, there were only a few True Martial Realm experts throughout history.
However, Great Strength Guru and Chi Ming were curious as to why the Buddha Bone Sarira left behind by a True Martial Realm expert was in Su Xin's hands.
It must be known that any True Martial Realm expert was an ancestor-level figure.
This was especially true for the people of the Buddhist Sect. They all knew that the Buddha Bone Sarira they left behind after death would be extremely beneficial to their descendants. Therefore, almost all High Monks of the Buddhist Sect would pass away in their sects as long as there were no accidents.
But if that was the case, how did Su Xin get his hands on this Buddha Bone Sarira?
Su Xin said, "This Buddha Bone Sarira was left behind by a High Monk named Shinsyu."
"Shinsyu?"
Both the Supreme Master of Great Strength and the Sage Master Chi Ming had a look of doubt on their faces. Clearly, they had never heard of this name before.
